1955 Cadillac Fleetwood, 40,000 original miles This car is one of the finest original cars I have seen in my 40 years in the hobby. It has a true 40,270 miles from new. The body still wears the original factory black paint that still looks wonderful owing to its having been garage kept all its life. It has the rare factory air conditioning that works as it should. The attractive chrome vents in the headliner direct the air as it moves from the AC unit in the trunk up through clear plastic vent tubes to be blown gently on the passengers. It has power windows and power seat for the expected luxury conveniences and they work as new. It has the wonderbar radio and of course power steering and power brakes as you would expect from the top of the line luxury sedan from Cadillac. The 331 cubic inch V8 engine starts instantly and purrs as it runs. It is smooth at all speeds. The automatic transmission shifts perfectly and it steers and brakes as it should. There is a newer dual exhaust system. It is a great driving car. For more photos please go to: http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0AYtGrNk3ctWLI7A The interior of Cadillacs of this era have always been known for their opulence. The factory brochures had pages of fabric choices for the discerning customer to make their custom orders to suit their personal taste. The interior of this car is excellent. The dash is perfect with all the chrome in excellent condition and the dash pad is blemish free. The headliner is perfect as are all the gray cloth door panels. There is slight wear on the drivers side armrest. The carpets are original and are in great condition but are a little faded from their original gray. The seats are in excellent condition but appear to have seatcovers over the original upholstery that may have been installed when nearly new. The original upholstery may be intact under these attractive and correct looking covers. One interesting thing is that there were only two seatbelts originally installed, one for the driver and one for the right rear seat. This was likely a chauffeur driven car. The body is straight and damage free. I can find no evidence of any repairs or repaint. There are a couple of spots that have been dabbed with a brush and a few small door dings but overall the paint is excellent for having lived almost 60 years. It is way too nice to think about a repaint. All chrome is very nice original. This is a California car since new and there is no rust anywhere. It has been kept in a garage since new and I believe it has had only 3 owners from new. It was kept at a ranch estate here in Ventura county from new. It has been driven sparingly to keep the mileage low but has been exercised to keep everything working. Overall this is a wonderful original car that would suit any collection or Cadillac enthusiast. Feel free to call if you need more photos of specific areas. I have this car advertised elsewhere and reserve the right to remove it from ebay. As is. No warranty is expressed or implied. Thank you for your interest. |

2015 Cadillac ATS sedan gets early reveal in making-of video
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Cadillac is apparently preparing to roll out a minor facelift for the ATS sedan - which we know not because General Motors has already revealed it or because we're looking at it in a fresh batch of spy shots (though we've seen that too), but because a behind-the-scenes video from the filming of its commercial has leaked out online. Which may be bad news for Cadillac, and even worse news for the film production company, but good news for us, because we get to see it ahead of schedule.
The revised sports sedan seems to be sporting a new front bumper and less egg-cratey grille with Caddy's new wreath-less badge at its center, all apparently put in place to bring the sedan more in line with the new ATS coupe.
We're sure Cadillac will be revealing the updated 2015 ATS sedan shortly, but you can scope it out right now in the video below. By way of comparison, we've included an image gallery of the current ATS, released back in 2013, as well.
2015 Cadillac Escalade configurator lets you bling it your way
Fri, 21 Mar 2014It's Friday, so there must be a new configurator to play with. While last week we showed you how to build your own McLaren 650S, today's ride is a bit more common. It's the 2015 Cadillac Escalade, a vehicle that you've been able to colorize since the end of last year, and which is sure to be an increasingly common sight on US roads in the coming months.
For those that have played with the build-your-Caddy tool, there's not much new here, aside from the vehicle being configured. The Escalade is available in three trims and two wheelbases, with prices spanning from the SWB, two-wheel-drive Standard, which starts at $72,690, on to the all-wheel-drive, long-wheelbase ESV Premium, which kicks off at $86,790. The options list, meanwhile, isn't hugely extensive. A rear-seat entertainment system and power-retractable side-steps (only available on the Premium trim) are the two notable options, while customers will have their choice of six exterior paints and two to three interior schemes, depending on the trim level.

Reuss says Cadillac CT6-based Buick could happen
Wed, Apr 15 2015Could the upcoming Cadillac CT6 and its Omega platform spawn a Buick variant? According to General Motors' product chief Mark Reuss, it could potentially be in the cards, but "not yet." "We're working on that," Reuss told Automotive News at the 2015 New York Auto Show. While there hasn't been a large, rear-drive Buick on dealerships since the Roadmaster in 1996, the company gave a big hint that it could head in that direction with the Avenir Concept, shown earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show. As Automotive News explains, a rear-drive Omega-platform Buick could be a real hit in China, where consumers buy 13 Buicks for every one Cadillac. That move would be a big help to GM's bottom line, too, as it'd significantly increase the Omega platform's economy of scale. If a large Buick based on the CT6 were to head to China, though, it likely wouldn't be a simple case of badge engineering (thank God). Reuss hinted to Automotive News that while the mixed-material construction of the CT6 platform "is very flexible," doing an "identical version of that platform or not is a different conversation." What are your thoughts? Should Buick adopt the Omega platform for an Avenir-based sedan? Should that vehicle be sold here in the US, or should it be a China-only offering? Have your say in Comments.
